One of the biggest rock events of 2009 was Sonisphere: a series of 6 rock festivals in 6 different European countries, and an impressive line-up: Metallica, NIN, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Alice in Chains, Machine Head, Slipknot, etc.

Needless to say, the first edition was a huge success, which made the organizers decide to expand the festival. The second edition, Sonisphere 2010, will take place in 11 countries – including Romania!

The first bands have already been confirmed: Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Mastodon. There are heavy, reliable rumours about the next 2 announcements: Rammstein and Iron Maiden. And these are just the first few names, there will be plenty more in the coming months.

The Romanian Sonisphere 2010 will take place between June 25th – 27th, in Bucharest. More details to follow. You can check out the official website for more info.
